Hello everyone! I'm still in the progress of fleshing the story out, as I have reworked it many times. However no matter who many times I rework it this chapter and the next always remain the same! So I figured I would publish these next two chapters to keep you guys happy while I slave away lol. this chapter is rather short, as i was a bit pressed for time when writing it. But as always enjoy.

EDIT: Arg, so sorry about the mistype with Lelouch/R.R.. Still getting into the habit of using their names appropriately. And don't worry, Zero's betrayel, the current situation, I will exlain everythign in the next chapter. It will be like a cram fest! Without the pressure, or the cram.

"My wish?" Lilia asked with look of befuddlement on her face.

R.R. walked past her, examining his surroundings closely. By the looks of it they were in a basement. "A very extravagant basement." R.R. thought to himself. A gorgeous chandelier hung overhead, and fine oil paintings decorated the wall. A large window was on the other side of the room, but R.R. was too far away to see what lay beyond it. A table with a single lamp stood next to the capsule, R.R. guessed the button to reveal the capsule was hidden in it."You'll understand later. Where are we?"

"We are on board Damocles 2, the castle of New Britannia's emperors and empresses, currently in orbit above earth."

R.R. walked to the nearest window and peered outside. The earth stood silently in front of him, a small orb at this distance. He turned around, his face calm despite the amount of shocking information he had received. "Explain." He commanded, crossing his arms.

Lilia nodded nervously and began to recite the history of the space craft. "Years after the Demon King Lelouch was killed, the current emperor decided to re-build Damocles with current technology. He thought that it should be remade as a symbol as peace, seeing as it was the last valiant effort to stop the Demon King before he was killed by Zero."

R.R. forced himself not to smile as he listened. "I accomplished my goal, I was remembered as the tyrant of evil. But how ironic is it that they honor the real villains?"

"It was remade with recently developed technology giving it a number of upgrades." Lilia continued. "The most prominent of these upgrades was the ability to travel into space. It is currently the largest object created to last in space."

R.R. nodded, understanding. "Well, that explains much. Now, there is one more question I would like answered. For what reason have you woken me, Empress?"

Lilia shook her head and took a step forward. "I think it's time you answered one of my questions." She asked, her voice strong despite the hint of nervousness evident.

R.R. smirked and uncrossed his arms. "Fair enough. I am R.R. I-"

Damocles suddenly shook strongly, sending objects crashing tot he ground. Lilia gave a squeak as she fell, and the chandelier dropped from the ceiling shattering upon the floor upon the floor. R.R. was thrown to the ground, landing painfully on his back. He stood up, roughly grabbing Lilia, and they climbed up the stairs with difficulty, the sounds of explosions echoing in the distance. R.R. pulled Lilia up the stairs and another crash sent them to the ground. Swearing, R.R. managed to stand up as he looked out the window. What looked like a small car hovered near Damocles, and a large tube extended from it puncturing a hole in the side.

"EMPRESS LILIA!" A young man ran into the room, holding a gun. Another distant explosion sent him flying towards the ground. He skilfully raised his hands and turned his fall into a roll, emerging without a scratch.

"Impressive. I should learn to do that. It would be nice to avoid injury. Oh wait, I'm immortal." R.R. thought to himself, looking at the newcomer with interest.

His red hair was worn relatively short, it reached to his shoulders in the back. His muscled body moved quickly and efficiently with a Assault Rifle in his hands. "Princess Lili-" he stopped, spotting R.R.. He swiftly brought his gun up and aimed it at R.R.. "Back away from the princess, and put your hands behind your head." He said calmly.

R.R. smirked and walked toward the man. "And what will you do about it?"

"I'll kill you, for laying a hand on the Empress." He said coolly, his finger resting steadily upon the trigger.

"Stop it!" Lilia yelled, running forward to put herself in between the two. "We're allies here, so please calm down! This person, R.R. is here to help us!"

The man lowered his gun slowly, still keeping an eye on R.R.. "Yes, my lord."

R.R. stopped walking forward and spoke to the man. "And who might you be? You look rather young to be such an important figure."

The man looked R.R., and R.R. realized his eyes were a bright red. "I am Roy Kōzuki! Proud descendant of The Red Flash Kallen Kōzuki and the Knight of Three Gino Weinburg!" He said fiercly, a flame burning in his red eyes.

Lelouch relaxed and involuntarily smiled. "Should have known. Kallen....Your descendant will live in your footsteps, he will become my new Q-1. Thank you, Kallen." Lelouch walked toward the man and held out a hand in welcome, body relaxed. Roy looked at the hand suspiciously, but sensing R.R.'s relaxed state he took his hand. Another explosion punctured Damocles, this one larger than the others. The sound of bullets occupied the air as men poured into the hallway leading to the room. Roy swore as he turned to return fire, retreating behind the corner. Lilia and R.R. stood behind him as he poked his head out, effectively taking down the advancing troops.

"Where are the Knightmares?!" R.R. yelled to Lilia.

Lilia looked up, her head under her hands. "Knightmares? We don't have Knightmares anymore!"

R.R. gaped in shock. "What?!"

Lilia gave a small gasp as the section of wall above her head exploded. "No! The previous Emperor decided in this time of peace that Knightmares were not needed! Only two Knightmares remain as of now!"

R.R. gritted his teeth in frustration and peered around the corner. "I could try and take them on, I am immortal....No, the code grants me immortality only. I can still be rendered unconscious or crippled, leaving me defenseless until my wounds heal. And by the time they do it will be too late. Wait..." "ROY!"

Roy looked down at R.R., who was crouching at his side. "What? I'm kind of busy here, so make it worth my time!" He yelled back, shooting a quick burst and taking out a soldier who had ventured to close.

"Aim 30 degrees upward and fire a 5 second burst!"

Roy looked at him with confusion. "But I won't even hit anything!"

R.R. flinched as he felt a bullet puncture his arm. "Just do it!"

Roy aimed his gun upward and quickly let loose. The ceiling burst apart against the onslaught, and pieces fell down, landing on the advancing soldiers. Cries of pain and shock emanated as they were crushed by the falling debris. One of the soldiers fell backward in chock as his friends and comrades were unmercifully crushed. His cry of horror was cut short by a burst from Roy's gun. The dust cleared and Damocles fell silent once more. R.R. stepped from the corner and walked forward, oblivious to the carnage. He was used to it. He bent down to retrieve a pistol from a dying man, ignoring his feeble attempts to stop him. Roy guided Lilia, whispering reassuringly to her as she tried to stem the tears while walking among the rubble and bodies of the dead. Lelouch walked down the hall, stopping at the large hole created as an entrance.

He stepped into the tube, Roy and Lilia following him. The ship was rather large and comfortable, six seats were on each side and the door to the cockpit was a few step away. A large TV screen rested on the section of wall next to the door.

A man sat in an elegant chair on the television. A familiar figure stood next to him, a also familiar sword buckled to his side. The man raised an eyebrow as he observed the newcomers. "Oh, you weren't what I was expecting. Does this mean you killed my men?"

R.R. nodded, staring intently at the figure next to the man. Although his face remained impassive, his mind reeled and struggled to accept the figure next to him. Zero, in his masked and caped glory, stood next to the emperor. On his side was a sword R.R. remembered all to well. It was the sword that took C.C.'s life, and would have taken his life as well had the plan gone correctly.

The man chuckled at the news of his mens death. "And who should I applaud for this victory?" He looked to Roy, who was glaring at the man with intense hatred. "Roy? No, you aren't smart enough to be able to take on that many men and win." Roy swore at the man who brushed it off. He turned to Lilia and shook his head. "Of course it wouldn't be you." His eyes rested upon R.R. and he looked at him curiously. "You're a new face. I assume we haven't met?"

"Yes. And who might you be?" R.R. asked calmly, examining the man. His handsome face was thin, long black hair obscured his eyes and rolled down his back. And yet his eyes shone brightly through the curtain of hair, they were a piercing white.

The man chuckled softly, leaning forward and resting his chin on a hand. "Oh, and is this the secret that has been passed down for generations? The legendary weapon of peace?"

"How does he know about the secret? Either he is a member of the royal family, or perhaps a servant. One thing is clear though, he had to live in Damocles. That's why he knew where to hit for the most damage, and-"

R.R.'s thoughts were interrupted as the man nodded. "I guess your silence means that you are agreeing and that you know nothign about me. Very well, I shall tell you who I am. My former name is of no value. The name I have adopted is everything to me, and I vow to recreate the world in his name. I am Lelouch Vi Britannia, The Demon King. I will bring this weak and peaceful world to its knees, and recreate the Old Britannian Empire!"

And finished! As a heads up, Lelouch Lamperouge will be referred to as R.R. from now on, since the main villians name is Lelouch. This isn't my best chapter sadly. I wrote this and went back on it, vut I couldn't get that satisfied feeling out of it. Nonetheless I hope you enjoy it. Oh, thank you to all the helpful reviews! A special thanks to those who suggested C.C.'s name, you're making my life so much easier lol. Next chapter will be mostly catch me up, I'll tell you guys what has happend and changed in this new era. As always, R/R and look forward tot he next chapter =). I plan on making this a story worth reading over and over and I hope you will enjoy the end results.
